MANPOWER FORCE ELEMENT LISTING
UTC TITLE: FFRA1, MED NUC INCIDENT RESP FORCE 1
MISSION CAPABILITIES STATEMENT
This UTC provides manpower and equipment necessary to respond to accidents/incidents
involving radioactive materials. The team has the capability to provide in-depth technical
assistance in identifying immediate health risks associated with radiological threats
encountered on the modern battlefield or military operations other than war. Advises
operational commanders on immediate measures necessary to minimize risk to deployed
forces from a radiological threat, and assists in directing their implementation. This UTC
may be deployed in two ways: a stand alone UTC or a forward team with follow-on of
FFRA2. For small-scale incidents, this UTC may act on its own with no requirement for
additional AFRAT (Air Force Radiation Assessment Team) support. For large-scale
incidents, this UTC may be deployed as a forward team and be charged with making
appropriate recommendation for follow-on AFRAT UTCs. AFSC cross-utilization is not
authorized. Grade/skill substitutions are authorized in accordance with AFI 10-403.
BOS required.

DRAFT UNIT ASSEMBLAGE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
DEPLOYMENT INDICATOR CODE (DEPID) 1, In-being unit. All equipment and
personnel required to support the UTC are possessed by the unit. Functionally, can
operate on a stand-alone basis but may be augmented to provide increased capability.
UNIT LEVEL CODE: ELEMENT (ELM)
PROPOSED PILOT UNIT: Institute for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health
(ESOH) Risk Analysis (IERA), 311th Human Systems Wing, Brooks AFB, TX.
RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPMENT: This UTC is being developed in response to
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 3214.01, Military Support
to Foreign Consequence Management (CM) Operations, Mar 98, which deals with the
military response to NBC weapons of mass destruction, as well as, NATO ACE (Allied
Command Europe) directive 80-63, ACE Policy for Defense Measures Against Low
Level Radiological Hazards during Military Operations, dealing with radiological force
protection issues. In addition this UTC supports Presidential Decision Directive 39, "The
U.S. shall give the highest priority to developing capabilities to manage the consequences
of NBC materials or weapons use by terrorists"; as well as Presidential Decision
Directive, 56, Managing Complex Contingency Operations. Both of these directives call
for the development of national NBC response assets. Executive Order 12656
(Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities), 12148 (Federal Emergency
Management), and 12241 (National Contingency Plan) requires that each service
maintain an emergency radiation team. The AF team is required by AF132-4001 to be
available for deployment in support of on-scene commander in support of a radiation
accident or incident. The U'I'C is designed to provide the wartime commander with the
health physics technical expertise required to address radiological threats encountered on
the battlefield. While other UTCs incorporate some radiation detection capability, none
of these existing UTCs provides the in-depth technical health physics expertise to fully
assess the risk to deployed personnel. This UTC fills that void.

UTC TITLE: FFRA2, MED NUC INCIDENT RESP FORCE 2
MISSION CAPABILITIES STATEMENT
This UTC provides manpower and equipment augmentation to FFRA1 necessary to
respond to accidents/incidents involving radioactive materials. The team has the
capability to provide in-depth technical assistance in identifying immediate health risks
associated with radiological threats encountered on the modern battlefield or during
military operations other than war. Advises operational commanders on immediate
measures necessary to minimize risk to deployed forces from a radiological threat, and
assists in directing their implementation. This UTC may be a follow-on team to augment
the capabilities of FFRA1. During deployment as a follow-on AFRAT UTC, this UTC
will be charged with assisting in site-characterization and remediation, for 24 hour
surveillance. AFSC cross-utilization is not authorized. Grade/skill level substitutions are
authorized in accordance with AFI 10-403. BOS required.
